What is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid Prototyping (RP) is the ability to generate three-dimensional models that need no machining or tooling. RP adds material layer by layer until the desired shape is achieved, instead of cutting away material by machining. RP allows for more flexibility than machining because the complexity of the model does not give any limitations to its production. RP generates 3D models quickly and accurately which can greatly reduce the research and development phase of product development, which can yield a lower cost to market.
